Uncensored discussion of the four-year dark winter predicted by and carried out by Biden
I'm pretty sure what happens is IAEA inspectors show up, say "is this everything" , the Iranians just say yes and then suddenly Iran is "in compliance"
That's pretty much what happened with Iraq, but most of us didn't buy the bullshit.

Part of my problem with people saying Iran complies with IAEA is that these international agencies are often agenda driven and have soft influence
I'm pretty sure what happens is IAEA inspectors show up, say "is this everything" , the Iranians just say yes and then suddenly Iran is "in compliance"
Just like the UN and WHO are corrupt as hell and massive hypocritical pushovers, I would not be surprised if IAEA does a half-assed job and then just says "yup all good, we believe U"
And then suddenly the headline is "Iran is complying"
There seems to be some very high level intel to the contrary if such drastic and politically risky action was taken against it
Two enemies negotiated in bad faith
There were several nations involved.
Muslim countries... civilized
LOL!
@SeasonedRP yeah, they pretty much asked permission to do it, and our troops evacuated all personnel and essential equipment, so they hit nothing of significance.
But like you said, it allowed them to save face a bit.
@Vermillion-Rx huh. I would not have expected that.
including the fact that Iran was willfully complying with the terms of the deal and openly showing that they were not enriching uranium beyond what was needed for their power generating reactors and for medical isotopes [emphasis added]
Not really. Secretary of State Rubio addresses that and other things in here:

It seems there's a lot that no one on here knew.

That regime is going to be hanging by threads soon.
I'm not sure what the likelihood of an uprising from within is but when your military gets wrecked from a small country miles away and reveals how weak you are i find it impossible to stay in power after that

@Vermillion-Rx Market reaction to a telegraphed, face-saving response by Iran. Cease fire announced. War ain't happening. Question is whether Iran's military will let the Islamists stay in power.

@Typo-MAGAshiv It was a pretty meaningless deal. Two enemies negotiated in bad faith. Neither got anything they wanted except to stop negotiating unsuccessfully.
The more powerful nation wanted to keep the other down, so it was never going to offer the weaker power anything meaningfully good, only the chance of less pain if it complied. The less powerful nation wanted to quietly gain a powerful tool that its enemies have that might get it taken more seriously but it had to lie and pretend it wouldn't seek the tool it really wants in return for slightly less pain. How was a deal like that ever going to last?
In the end this one will only be won by actions. It is almost impossible to turn an enemy into a neutral nation by offering the absence of fear or suffering. You have to actually create a positive vision of a place for that nation at your table or defeat it. Either positive actions in diplomacy are needed or victory.
You can't achieve victory without boots on the ground. Boots on the ground require resources. When you have a huge debt and a proxy war draining you, a new war is a poor investment, particularly when you sell yourself as a police man not a conqueror, when you hand back shattered countries to embittered citizens not keep them as resources.
When the US puts boots on the ground in muslim countries it has a good record of short term success and a terrible record of long term success. It does not know how to offer a civilised non western country a vision that it can buy into. Not everyone thinks that a slightly higher standard of living is worth the cost of being ruled by liberal values and the fiat dollar.
